Eleven eggs, believed to be those of the Rufous-throated Sugar- 

 bird, vary considerably in size and shape as well as in the colora- 

 tion of the ground and markings. They vary in shape from a 

 somewhat long and pointed oval to a very broad blunt oval, 

 and are almost devoid of gloss. The ground-colour is pinkish- 

 white, greenish-white, or pale green, and is generally thickly 

 spotted all over the shell with brown or reddish-brown and dull 

 lilac ; in some there are well-marked spots and blotches of deep 

 brown. They vary in size from "Oo to "74 in length, and from 

 •48 to 'So in breadth.
